Every natural remedy is not for everyone. In fact, there is a select group of patients who may need medication as a part of their initial therapy, and I will let you know if you are a part of that select group at the end of this video. Let's talk about ways to lower this blood pressure naturally. One way to lower the blood pressure naturally and quickly is by slow, deep breathing. Slow, deep breathing. That's all. When you take in deep, slow breaths, this causes the heart rate to slow down. It causes the blood vessels to dilate and it causes the blood pressure to decrease. You just do slow inhalations for about four seconds, hold your breath for about four seconds, and then exhale slowly. And you repeat this for about five to 10 minutes. Another way to lower the blood pressure naturally is by having a low salt intake, a low sodium intake. So I really want you to become a label watcher. I want you to look at the back of the labels on the foods you eat and see how much sodium you're taking in. No one should be taking in more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium in 24 hours. And if you are African American, if you have hypertension, if you have diabetes, if you have kidney disease, and if you're older than the age of 50, you should be taking in 1500 milligrams of sodium or less. Does that seem like a lot of sodium? It's really not. Another way to lower blood pressure naturally is to eat certain foods that help to promote low blood pressure. For most people, potassium can assist in lowering blood pressure and you should be taking in about 4.7 grams of potassium a day. Now, remember what I said at the beginning of the video. When you're lowering your blood pressure naturally, you must do it under the supervision of a physician. Everyone does not need a high potassium diet. In fact, if you have kidney disease or if you are a person who has potassium that is too high, then you don't need a high potassium diet. In fact, you should have a low potassium diet, about 2 grams per day. But for most people who metabolize potassium normally, you should be getting about 4.7 grams of potassium a day. Consult your physician. This video covers how to lower blood pressure naturally and quickly.
